2015 Map of Pilot Hill

About this map

Pilot Hill and the surrounding high ground of the Laramie Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in the mid-2010s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and springs, including the headwaters of Horse Cr and Lodgepole Cr. A significant portion of the eastern and southern area is managed as part of the Medicine Bow National Forest, where a sparse network of forest roads and trails, such as the Pilot Hill Trl and Horse Creek Trl, provides the primary access to the backcountry. Notable geological and water features are scattered across the quadrangle, from the named rocky outcrops of Peggy Rock and Pinnacle Peaks to the isolated watering points of Laycock Spring and Telephone Spring. The map reflects a landscape primarily utilized for recreation and resource management, evidenced by the named gullies and canyons like Government Gully and Jack Rabbit Canyon that cut through the mountain slopes.
